CHILD CARE SURVEY 2011

The Child Care Resource Center is conducting a survey on the child care needs of working parents in Tulsa County. Recent changes in funding and locations of child care may have had an impact on your ability to access care. Your help in completing this will help us understand the needs of our community and its working families. The survey takes 5 minutes. It is anonymous, and all data is represented in groups with no identifying information for the participant.
